Remote FTP

[falko]

I got it working. I created a file /etc/pam.d/ftp with the following contents:

#%PAM-1.0
auth    required        pam_unix.so     nullok
account required        pam_unix.so
session required        pam_unix.so

I restarted proftpd, and that's it!

Hi, I'm having the same problem also. I read the other threads earlier posted by falco and I added the information as per instructions by falco, however there was alreay an existing /etc/pam.d/ftp. So I just amended falco's instruction. This is my ftp client log:

[R] 220 ProFTPD 1.2.10 Server (ProFTPD server) [192.168.2.101]
[R] USER user1
[R] 331 Password required for user1
[R] PASS (hidden)
[R] 530 Login incorrect.
[R] Connection failed
[R] Delaying for 60 seconds before reconnect attempt #1

I tried both passive and non-passive. I however can log in as Anonymous with no problems.

What did you use for username? It must be something like web[no]_xxxx.

Sorry Falko, I haven't had a chance to tinker with ftpd yet. I'm still trying to get the DNS client working . But to answer you question, no. I did not use the username you suggested. But I have the feeling it's in the manual that I overlooked. Will post back.

Ok... The fix above works when ftp access denied on Fedora 4. On Fedora 3, falco pointed out that it needs to be web[no]_xxxx

FTP on both systems work now.

Thanks!

Hello, I did as Falko suggested

nano /etc/pam.d/ftp

#%PAM-1.0
auth    required        pam_unix.so     nullok
account required        pam_unix.so
session required        pam_unix.so

and
service proftpd restart


and all is well thanks Falko

Should you add that to the FC4 perfect install notes?

I have to verify that myself before I update the howto because when I first wrote it I didn't have to create this /etc/pam.d/ftp file. Maybe some packages have changed in the meantime...

Hi,

I can confirm that this is necessary
I had been trying to get FTP to work - could log in with webftp but not with ftp client.
Added /etc/pam.d/ftp as suggested and it worked first time.
On FC4

Still have problem with sending mail, able to read but not send, username/password rejected. Is this likely to be a similar problem?

What's the exact error message? Is there also anything in the mail log?

The mail client - Thunderbird - just reports that conn...
